ISLAMABAD: Pakistani singer and actor Fawad Khan has joined hands with Seattle-based production house MTG to release an electronic pop track, the music video for which will be released later this week and will feature “top influencers” from the local music industry, MTG said on Monday.
Khan, a household name in South Asia, has starred in a string of hit Pakistani and Bollywood films. Before his rise to stardom as an actor, Khan was a vocalist for the Lahore-based rock band “Entity Paradigm.”
MTG, a Seattle-based media outlet and production house, said it premiered the new song— whose name it did not share— on July 27. It also features Maria Unera, a Pakistani Philippina singer and songwriter who was recently featured on Spotify: best of Pakistani women on EQUAL Pakistan playlist, and Bilal Ali, the lead singer of the Pakistani band “Kashmir.”
The music video for the track is set to be released on Saturday, August 10, MTG said. Directed by the production house’s founder, Maheen Mustafa, MTG said it will be available on all streaming platforms.
“The incredible icons featured in the new MTG music video are formidable talents,” Khan was quoted as saying in an MTG press release shared on Monday. “Their achievements inspire and uplift people around the world, including myself.”
Unera said she was thrilled to share the video with the world on every platform once it is released.
“The initiative really stood out for me and made me more keen to work with everyone involved in this project,” she said. “Can’t wait for everyone to check out what we worked on.”’
Ali said it was “brilliant” working on a song with the brilliant stars.
“We hope we did them justice and that people appreciate our humble attempt,” Ali said.
